Here are my proposed corrections to Spartan Mosquito's ad on Amazon. Instead of showing biting flies, stable flies, gnats, and chiggers, they bought stock photos of a ked (Lipoptena cervi?), a heleomyzid fly (Suillia quinquepunctata?), a gall midge (Dasineura gleditchiae?), and a true velvet mite (Trombidiidae). #insect #repellent #entomology #TaxonomyFail

OK, how many mistakes can you find? Screenshot is from Spartan Mosquito's Amazon page and shows the organisms repelled by its GO! spray (picaridin). #TaxonomyFail #entomology #insect #acarology #arthropod #nature #repellent #fly #Diptera #mosquitoes #ticks #chiggers #medical

This is one of the more spectacular ones I've seen.
